    I can't believe I missed that! Now I have to watch that movie again. ☹️

    Timber Tiger Aircraft Presentation

    I was really impressed with Kay's Speedster at Oshkosh. Side-by-side seating, open cockpit, can be fitted with a radial engine, and folding wings. I can't wait to see it completed!

    What is your interest and/or experience with homebuilt airplanes?

    I'm building a Sling 2 and hope to be finished next year. Before that I had a Preceptor N3-Pup and have helped others build their RVs.

    Blackburn B-20

    My father worked on the Seamaster at Martin's in the 50's. He said it was a beautiful aircraft. I think there are two in the Chesapeake Bay if anyone's interested. :)

    Exhaust pipe fabrication helpers

    I always used worm gear hose clamps with a hole drilled in them so that I could place a tack weld. I've got to give it to them though, those clamps are a big improvement over mine!

    Free-blowing a bulged bubble canopy?

    The guys in the one powder coating forum I used to frequent used RockWool insulation for their ovens. They liked its resistance to fire and heat. It's not nearly as cheap as the fiberglass, but right now, nothing's cheap.

    Build supplies under the clouds

    That's because they have to flip your order over once it crosses the equator. That has to be at least 50% of the cost. :)

    Fresh Air Mask- Supplied Air Mask

    The hood totally encloses your head and neck, down to you shoulders. The air enters the rear of the hood and inflates a collar at the bottom of it, and then the air flows over your head. If I shrug my shoulders or change positions so that my shoulders move up, the hood will move up off of my...

    Fresh Air Mask- Supplied Air Mask

    I got the full hood due to the fact that I am using 2K polyurethanes and wanted as much protection as I could get. It's nice not having your eyes get dry from the fumes, and it has a replaceable HEPA filter built into the blower, too.

    Fresh Air Mask- Supplied Air Mask

    I use a HobbyAir 2 that I purchased from here: http://autobodystore.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=HP I get a nice cool breeze of air that washes over your head, helping keep you cool in the hotter months. No smell of solvents, no having my eyes get dry from fumes, etc...

    preceptor aircraft

    Larry, I believe DuWayne is still in business, but I've heard of others who have also had some difficulty getting in touch with him. Join the Yahoo Preceptor group and see if anyone there has an engine mount or can build one for you. Marty

    Shipping Parts

    I had a friend use U-Ship last year to ship a '66 Chevy he had purchased, to his house. The price was reasonable, the car arrived on time and undamaged. Check it out, I don't think it costs anything to register or get a quote. Marty

    LSA or GA Ticket?

    I purchased an ultralight and thought I would take enough lessons to get competent with the ultralight. However, before I began, I decided to just get my PPL because that would provide me with everything I would need, regardless of whether I decided to move up or not. I figured if it took me 12...

    When Was the Last Time...

    Last night I was cleaning the adhesive off of the wings and ailerons of my N3-Pup in advance of recovering them.

    Any cool aviation things to see/do near Las Vegas?

    It's not aviation related, but if you've never taken a tour of Hoover Dam, you should. An amazing piece of engineering an workmanship.

    EAA 1928 Ford Trimotor

    Stout was the name of the gentleman who designed that aircraft and others. He partnered with Henry Ford on the Tri-Motor. I like the interior, a far cry from today's. :gig:
